BAHR has an insurer-focused insurance practice that showcases a strong track record advising both domestic and international clients on marine insurance, regulatory work and asset management work. Jan Jansen, who is a seasoned insurance litigator, and Atle Skaldebø-Rød, who is singled out as an ‘extremely competent and confident lawyer’ who handles marine insurance litigation, both oversee the practice. Marine insurance is a key pillar of the practice and on this front, Mads Schjølberg and Marte Leveraas are recommended. Other notable members are Benjamin Berg Bentele, who advises insurers and policyholders on domestic litigation and arbitration proceedings, and Lars Inge Ørstavik, who joined in June 2024 from Advokatfirmaet Simonsen Vogt Wiig.
